Yeovil Town
Directions
The ground is located on the very outskirts of Yeovil and is
signposted from the A303. Leave the A303 at the
Cartgate roundabout and take the A3088 towards Yeovil. Follow the road
for around four miles until you reach a
roundabout on the outskirts of Yeovil with the Westlands Airfield
directly in front of you. Turn
left at this roundabout and then continue straight on,
crossing a number of roundabouts. As you pass the entrance to an Asda
superstore, take the next left for the ground, which can be seen from the road.
There is a fair sized car park at the ground, which
costs £2. Otherwise there is plenty of street car parking to be had on the roads
leading down to the ground. Tim Porter a visiting Torquay United fan adds; 'make
sure you arrive at the official car park, early in winter as otherwise you
will end up in the overspill car park, which
actually is a field which doesn't drain nearly as well as the pitch!'Pubs
There
are three pubs within about 10-15 minutes walk of the ground, 'The Bell', 'The
Arrow' and 'The Airfield Tavern' (formerly 'Brewsters'). Stephen Pugsley adds; 'The
Airfield Tavern'
also has a handy fish and chip shop next door called Palmers'.
To find the Arrow pub, from the ground car park, walk back up the road past the
ground to the top of it and turn right. At the end of this road, turn
left onto the main road and after a short distance take the first right.
Go straight down this road through the new looking residential area and
after about ten minutes of walking, you will see a clearing on your right
and just beyond this there are some shops and the Arrow pub in the middle.
Colin Jordan a visiting Exeter City fan adds; 'We found
"The Bell" on Preston Road (towards the Town Centre from the A3088
roundabout, rather than turning left towards Huish Park). It's a very large
Greene King "Hungry Horse" pub, with a great deal of outside seating, and as
with most of Yeovil it seems to be away fan friendly. Usual Greene King beer
fayre (IPA, Abbot, Morland OSH), plus good quality food. It is though at
least a 15-20 minute walk away from the ground'.
By Train
Yeovil
has two railway stations, Yeovil Junction is 2-3 miles out of town and Pen
Mill junction about a mile from the town centre.
Both are on the opposite side of town to the ground.
From both stations it is advised to get a taxi to the stadium or
alternatively if you arrive at Yeovil Junction, then you
can catch the ‘Hopper’ minibus to the bus station
in the town centre. On Saturday
matchdays there is one shuttle bus that runs from the station to the ground
which leaves the bus station at around 1.50pm (returning from Huish Park at
17:05). Otherwise there is the First Traveller Bus Service No:1 that leaves
from the town centre (stop outside Lloyds TSB in the High Street) and drops
you at the Abbey Manor Housing Estate, which is near to the stadium.
